If he does get into the black suit, I doubt its for the whole movie. So what you saw doesn't mean he won't do it.

Where are these pics anyway?

So the trailer is out now. Looks pretty good, but no shots of Venom (that I noticed, at least), and I didn't see the supposedly revealed 4th villain.

From what I understand.... the 4th villian is not "in costume" but is definatly there.

I still reckon the 4th one is going to be a really minor villian right at the start of the film to get things kicked off, like the Vulture or Rhino

I counted them through and it doesn't add up:

Maguire = Spidey
Grace = Venom
Church = Sandman
Franco = Hobgoblin
Dunst = Mary Jane
Howard = Gwen Stacy

That's it! There's no one else in that trailer

So unless Gwen Stacy or Mary Jane are going to become super villians.........we aint gonna know who the 3th is yet

Franco might be the Hobgoblin (even though you don't see his face) but he gets pumpkin bombed in one scene.... so there's your 4th.

Even if that's true, it's not really "revealing" someone. It could easily be a dream sequence or something.

They're probably fucking around with everyone by saying there is a fourth villain, when in reality they mean the costume.

Like when Obi Wan Kenobi said darth vader killed luke's father, and then later he said it was true "from a certain point of view."

Obi Wan Kenobi is a douche.

sorry for double post, and i dunno if it was mentioned, but if you look at the very end of the trailer, it does look like he has the spider in the back as well.

I really don't expect to see venom until the very end. ala harry finding the green goblin gear. It's going to be something to set up 4. So don't expect to see venom in the trailers.

yea. Remember those spoilers early in, i believe, this thread where it says Venom will only appear at the end during a battle, or something to that extent? I agree with you Fig, we probably will only get a glimpse of him in this one, and hopefully have him much more featured in the next one. They cant really afford to screw this one up though, yknow? Alot of people, including myself, feel Venom is the biggest villian Spidey really has.

Nah, man venom is a close second.

Yeah, venom is cool and all, but he's only really spiderman's villian. Whereas the Green Goblin is both spiderman and peter parker's villian. Venom has beat spider-man up a few times, sure.
But the Green Goblin has killed his first love, made him think his parents were alive, was responsible for the clone saga, kidnapped aunt may, and stole his freaking baby.

That and he has close personal ties to peter.

"Read on if you dare..."
(highlight)
Where does Venom come from? Well, the symbiote clings to Peter after a date with MJ - like gum on his shoe to begin with, almost. As he sleeps, covers him - we see this in the trailer. When he wakes up, he's hanging upside down on the side of a building - much like the final shot in the teaser. It's the old werewolf thing - but used to dramatise Peter's internal conflict. Venom adopts an appearance like the red/blue Spidey suit because Peter is wearing it when it covers him - though he's not wearing the mask, so there's a little dramatic license at play. Tut tut - can do better, Mr. Raimi. See me after class.


Before getting on Peter, the symbiote has a rather 50's sci-fi origin, not unlike that of The Blob. It looks like Raimi has had a lot of fun with this element of the story.

Okay - back to the plot. How does Eddie Brock become Venom? Well, when Spidey is "caught" by the symbiote, Brock follows this Venom character to a church bell tower. He's both trying to upstage Peter's coverage in the Bugle, and also twist the knife into Spidey. Here, Peter manages to overcome the symbiote and rip himself free of the suit, but some of it falls onto Brock. That is, of course, all he needs to soon "become" Venom. We see plenty of shots from this sequence in the teaser, including Brock's discovery of who is inside the suit just before the symbiote gets onto him.

The Venom-Brock does not look exactly like the Venom-Spidey, but more organic, more like the comic book Venom. This is, apparently, due to the fact that Spidey had the red/blue suit on, Brock does not. Peter's split into two-halves in so many ways (Peter/Spidey, Spidey/Venom-Spidey, Peter/Dark Peter) that it would get confusing if the metaphorical values of each wasn't so clear.

For most of the film, Spider-Man is in pursuit of Flint Marko, The Sandman, but we begin with an early Green Goblin/Spider-Man show-down - some of which is seen in the trailer - shot at night-time, Harry's face is exposed clearly in most shots, you see him fly into the wall fist first. It is only at the end of the film that Spidey faces off against Venom. Thankfully, Harry herein comes to his aid in Green Goblin guise, showing that he too has won his own internal conflict much like Peter has. Hurrah for Harry.

Sadly, though, Harry is killed. Tears for Harry.

Aunt May also dies within he film's running time. Trust me, you don't want to know when and where.

Apparently, MJ does NOT die. I know I was expecting her to go, but if she does, it is somehow being kept an even bigger secret than the rest of these details.


All the business in the trailer with the ring? Well, apparently, there's much ado about that piece of jewellery - and at one point, it even ends up in a pawn shop. The romance storylines from 1 and 2 are every bit as much of 3 - maybe more so.

The Venom-Brock villain is conclusively dispatched, though the symbiote itself survives - so whatever hack is handed the series after Raimi leaves (taking Maguire and Dunst with him, no doubt) will be able to resurrect some kind of Venom villain.

Dark Spidey, as it were - Peter before he has overcome Venom - is the one who courts Gwen Stacey. Problems in the relationship with MJ, as well as professional issues - both as a photographer and crime-fighting webslinger, as it were - compound to bring him down. Real down. Even downer than last time. That's how Raimi, Sargent and co are using Venom - as a dramatic device to show Peter not just giving up on his great responsibility, but getting drunk on his great power.

Venom-Spidey fights some robbers, The Sandman and the Green Goblin before Peter dispels it in the bell-tower.

There are scenes inside Curt Connor's lab, where he studies the symbiote, and these scenes are also used to set up the research that will, in the character's story - though not in this movie - turn him into The Lizard. Take these teasing references more as tantalising morsels for the fanboy piranhas than concrete set-up for any subsequent film, however.


Spidey's fights with the Sandman not only take place in the Armoured Car chase so well covered on this blog (I was on set for much of the shooting) but also, I am told, in the subway. The final fight, the four-way rumble with Spidey, The Sandman, Venom and Harry as the Green Goblin, takes place in a construction site.

The extra villain that everybody has been speculating about makes only a fleeting appearance, and then only in a very off-hand but amusing way. Bruce Campbell's character this time around is Quentin Beck - known to fans of the comic as Mysterio. Again, don't take this as set-up for a subsequent film, but if anybody ever does put Mysterio in a film and NOT cast Bruce Campbell, they'll have hell to pay.

And of course, this also cleverly shines a new light on Campbell's two previous cameo appearances. Hilarious.

I can now confirm that the Black Cat does not make any significant appearance in the film, despite existing, on paper, in various earlier conceptions. She appears to have been removed for and replaced with Gwen Stacey. She was there for "Dark Peter" to romance, but Stacey was possibly considered a better choice as the franchise will need a new sweetheart now Dunst has made her intentions to depart clear.
